Book (stand-alone)Technical studyDairy Development in Kenya 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Over the last five decades the global dairy sector has seen substantive changes with major intensification, scaling-up and efficiency of production driven by demand from a growing human population and disposal incomes. This growth was achievable through the developments in animal breeding, nutrition, feed efficiency, animal health, housing and automation and supporting policies, strategies and organizations. Such changes are not however reflected across the whole dairy sector and while some deve loping countries have seen a major expansion in small-scale milk production, small-scale dairying in other countries has largely stagnated. Dairying contributes positively to human wellbeing in a variety of different ways: nutrition through quality food products, income and employment, organic fertilizer as well as assets and savings. There are however negative aspects associated with dairying including its contribution to Green House Gases, pollution and waste disposal, food safety and human he alth, use of grains for feed, animal welfare and erosion of biodiversity. In order to inform the public and to make rational policy and investment decisions related to the dairy sector, it is essential to fully understand these complex interactions and their consequences. This paper provides a review of these issues for the dairy sector of Kenya. We hope this paper will provide accurate and useful information to its readers and any feedback is welcome by the author and the Livestock Production Systems Branch (AGAS) or to the Rural Infrastructure and Agro-Industries Division (AGS) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuía sobre incentivos para la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios 2021El aumento de la inversión en agricultura y sistemas alimentarios -tanto del sector privado como del público- es fundamental para mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, reducir la pobreza y adaptarse al cambio climático. Para generar beneficios sostenibles, esta inversión debe ser responsable. ¿Qué papel deben desempeñar los incentivos a la inversión para fomentarla? Esta Guía ayuda a responder a esa pregunta. En concreto, la Guía ofrece a los responsables políticos y al personal técnico de los gobiernos una orientación sobre cómo pueden utilizarse los incentivos a la inversión (y cómo no deben utilizarse) para potenciar la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios. La Guía ofrece una visión general de la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios; examina los tipos comunes de incentivos; ofrece consideraciones generales sobre cómo pueden utilizarse los incentivos; y analiza cómo planificar, diseñar, supervisar y evaluar los incentivos a la inversión para la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios.

DocumentBulletinNon-wood news
An information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products
2007Also available in:
No results found.Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge.
